Awesome Creator Academy LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use the Creator Command Center platform and related services (collectively, the "Service"). This policy applies to all users globally, with specific provisions for users in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), United Kingdom ("UK"), and California.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of the Service.
This Service uses YouTube API Services. By using features that interact with YouTube data, you are also agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy) explains how Google treats your data when you use Google services, including YouTube.
For purposes of the GDPR and applicable data protection laws, Awesome Creator Academy LLC is the data controller responsible for your personal data. Our contact details are:
We collect the following categories of information:
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials provided through our OAuth login system. We may also collect your profile information if you choose to provide it.
The Service is designed to store your creator business data, including content plans, revenue figures, task lists, contact information, brand research notes, weekly reviews, and business goals. This data is provided voluntarily by you and is necessary to deliver the Service's core functionality.
When you make a purchase, payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe, Inc. We do not collect, store, or have access to your full credit card number, CVV, or card expiration date. Stripe provides us with limited transaction data including: a Stripe customer ID, payment confirmation status, transaction amount, and the last four digits of your card (for display purposes only). For full details on how Stripe handles your payment data, see the Stripe Privacy Policy.
When you use AI-assisted features (such as content brief generation, DEAL Framework analysis, or weekly insights), we transmit your inputs to third-party AI providers (Google Gemini API and OpenAI API) to generate responses. These inputs may include content titles, deal terms, business notes, and reflection text. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through AI features; please avoid submitting sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or health information) through AI input fields.
If you use features that connect to YouTube or Google services, we may access certain data through YouTube API Services, including channel statistics, video metadata, and analytics data that you authorize us to access. We access this data solely to provide the Service's creator analytics and content planning features. We do not store YouTube user data beyond what is necessary for the requested functionality, and we comply with the YouTube API Services Developer Policies. You may revoke our access to your YouTube data at any time through the Google security settings page.
We automatically collect certain technical information when you use the Service, including: IP address (anonymized for analytics), browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, features used, session duration, and error logs. This data is used to maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
If you participate in our affiliate program, we collect your PayPal email address (for commission payments), referral tracking data (clicks, conversions), and commission history. This data is necessary to administer the affiliate program and process payments.
If you contact us for support or provide feedback, we collect the content of your communications and your contact information to respond to your inquiry and improve our services.
For users in the EEA and UK, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

We use your information for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal data. We share your information only in the following circumstances:
We share your AI feature inputs with Google LLC (Gemini API) and OpenAI, LLC (GPT API) to generate AI responses. These providers process your data as data processors under our instructions and are subject to their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. OpenAI's privacy policy is available at openai.com/privacy.
We share your email address and transaction details with Stripe, Inc. to process payments. Stripe acts as an independent data controller for payment data. We do not have access to your full payment card details. Stripe's privacy practices are governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy.
When you authorize YouTube/Google API access, data flows between the Service and Google's servers. Google processes this data according to the Google Privacy Policy. We access only the data you explicitly authorize and do not share your YouTube data with other third parties.
We share your data with Awesome Creator Academy LLC's proprietary tools and platforms (including the ACA Revenue Calculator Pro and Awesome Creator Academy course platform) as described in our Terms of Use. This sharing is limited to what is necessary to provide integrated cross-platform features.
We use third-party service providers for cloud hosting, database management (TiDB/MySQL), object storage (S3-compatible), analytics, and security monitoring. These providers access your data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect your data.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process (such as a subpoena, court order, or government request), or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply with a legal obligation.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide the Service. Specific retention periods are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account and profile data | Duration of account + 90 days |
| User Content (business data) | Duration of account + 90 days |

AI interaction inputs transmitted to third-party providers are subject to those providers' retention policies. We do not independently retain AI input data beyond what is necessary for abuse monitoring (up to 30 days).

Data Portability: Before requesting deletion, we recommend using the Export Center within the Service to download a copy of your data in a machine-readable format (JSON/CSV). Once deletion is processed, your data cannot be recovered.
Awesome Creator Academy LLC is based in the United States. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
For transfers of personal data from the EEA or UK to the United States, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs") approved by the European Commission, or other appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law. Our AI service providers (Google and OpenAI) and payment processor (Stripe) participate in data transfer frameworks that provide appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and relevant supervisory authorities within 72 hours as required by applicable law.
We use the following cookies and similar technologies:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Essential | Maintains your authenticated login session |
| Affiliate tracking | Functional | Tracks referral source for affiliate program |
| Analytics (anonymized) | Performance | Aggregate usage patterns to improve the Service |
We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the Service to function. You may opt out of analytics cookies by contacting us at [email protected].
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 18, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete such information within 48 hours.
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no uniform standard for interpreting DNT signals, the Service does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, as described above, we do not engage in cross-site tracking or third-party advertising tracking.
If you are a California resident, the following additional disclosures apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):
To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will verify your identity using your account email address. You may also designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where required by law, by providing additional notice at least 30 days before changes take effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
For privacy-related questions, requests, or complaints, please contact our Privacy Team at [email protected] or our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
If you are located in the EEA or UK and are not satisfied with our response to your privacy request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
